Design and Desktop Publishing

The value of design and layout to enhance written communication in any
language is paramount.

A crucial part of the translation process is the visual appearance of the text.
It should be clear and appealing to the eye, whatever the language.

When working in foreign languages, this part of the process can often go by
the wayside, which is why we at The Living Word place high importance on the design and layout of text. We would like to help you to ensure that the impact
of your multilingual communication is as high as possible.

DTP work can be a challenge in many languages, because we must take different factors into account for each language and each country. Colours, for example,
can have different connotations in different cultures, and some translations can require more space than their source text.

In addition to this, at The Living Word, our DTP Quality Assurance procedure plays an important role in the production of work for our clients. These procedures are carried out by a DTP expert and a linguist working in conjunction. This ensures
that the layout and functionality of the text is flawless, as well as it being linguistically accurate.
